no nothing is happening with Olympic park, but i left it there for no other reason than just a reference as to where it is in the overall scheme of things.It is not officially a suburb, but it is a region that is very central to sydney, and contains the major sporting venues and Royal Easter Show grounds.I'd like to leave it there, the maps still plays classically with it in. Call it artistic license.

I'm all for this. I've been thinking about doing a Perth map for a while, but that's a fair way down the track

My thoughts on graphics are it's a little cluttered. I'd like to see the opera house done as an army circle, like the statue of liberty in the new york map. Colours could perhaps use a bit of updating. Inner west and randwick are pretty close, and hard to distinguish from the water...

I like the use of roads as impassables, but the "pedestrian crossings" look a bit awkward... perhaps foot bridges would be a better idea? I'd like to see it spread out a bit more too... move the bonuses and the "statistics" somewhere else and give yourself a bit of extra room?

Still, lookin good as a starting point, but definitely stuff to be done.

Yes, i can probably loose some legend areas in the upcoming updates to make it a bit smaller. or reduce the number of terts....i think 48 would be the next size down for an 8 player game.currently at 59.

OK...

Uh Huh...got you.

I am going to stick with the pedestrian crossing, as this hasn't been done before on a CC map in play whereas bridges have, and i had foot bridges on the previous attempts and they didn't go down well. me and bridges are not exactly graphically compatable.

Sydney flavoured.. hmm.... When you look at the map it needs to be unsmiling and you need to get the impression "This map is too important for you to play on"... (no offence to any Sydneysiders... hey, at least you're not Victorian )
